To  the  Memory  of  the  Rev.  Thomas  Franklin  Waters  M.A., 
Founder  of  the  Ipswich  Historical  Society  and  Historian 
of  Ipswich,  this  study  is  dedicated  in  the  knowledge  that 
had  he  lived  it  would  have  borne  his  name. 


OLD   NORTH   CHURCHYARD 


INTRODUCTION. 


It  is  hoped  that  this  present  study  is  but  the  first  of  a 
series  which  will,  when  completed,  comprise  a  complete 
transcription,  with  the  necessary  charts,  of  all  the  ancient 
and  modern  burial  places  in  greater  Ipswich.  All  the  ma- 
terial has  been  collected  and  is  in  manuscript  form  await- 
ing publication.  It  includes,  beyond  the  material  presented 
here  (the  Old  North,  or  High  Street  Burial  Yard  of  Ips- 
wich), its  continuation,  the  Highland  Cemetery,  the  South 
Cemetery,  the  Locust  Grove,  and  the  three  cemeteries  of  the 
Linebrook  Parish  of  Ipswich.  It  also  includes  the  burial 
yard  of  the  second  or  Chebacco  Parish  of  Ipswich,  now 
Essex,  and  a  portion  of  that  of  the  Hamlet  Parish,  now 
Hamilton,  in  use  when  these  towns  were  parts  of  Ipswich, 
and  the  private  cemetery  of  the  Nourse  family  in  Ipswich 
Village. 

A  few  fundamental  facts  should  be  kept  in  mind  with 
reference  to  these  studies.  Neither  the  original  owners  of 
the  ancient  burying  grounds,  the  Parish  Churches,  under 
whose  care  and  jurisdiction  they  grew  up,  nor  the  towns 
to  which  they  were  later  conveyed,  kept  or  at  any  times 
possessed  charts  or  other  records  of  the  location  of  graves. 
It  is  obvious  that  until  recent  times  the  ownership  of  indi- 
vidual graves  and  plots  and  the  lines  of  demarcation  were 
very  vague.  Again  it  was  not  until  comparatively  recent 
times  that  statute  law  required  those  in  charge  of  the  dead 
to  file  with  town  officials  the  time  and  place  of  burials.  For 
this  reason  town  records  of  deaths  are  quite  incomplete. 

In  doing  this  work  we  are  deeply  conscious  that  we  are 
but  completing  that  which  a  long  line  of  antiquarians  had 
begun,  but  which,  through  a  series  of  varying  circum- 
stances, was  never  brought  to  completion. 


2  OLD   NORTH   CHURCHYARD 

The  first  to  start  this  work  was  the  late  Abraham 
Hammatt  (1781-1845).  Primarily  a  genealogist,  his 
work  was  in  the  eighteenth  century  and  it  is  known  that  he 
copied  many  of  the  Ipswich  stones  of  that  period  as  aids 
to  his  studies.    Unfortunately  much  of  his  work  is  lost. 

Next  in  time  was  the  work  of  the  late  Augustin  Cald- 
well and  Arthur  W.  Dow,  who,  in  their  Ipswich  Antiqua- 
rian Papers,  copied  and  published  many  of  the  outstanding 
Old  North  inscriptions.  We  have  been  through  this  publi- 
cation, checking  all  which  they  included  and  have  found 
some  which  have  since  disappeared  from  the  cemetery. 
Such  stones  are  indicated  in  the  text.  None  of  the  above 
scholars  made  any  pretence  at  a  complete  study. 

The  late  John  Nourse  entered  the  field  somewhat  later 
and  began  a  detailed  scale  chart.  It  is  evident  from  his 
papers  that  he  spent  a  large  amount  of  time  and  did  much 
hard  and  thorough  work  but  unfortunately  he  did  not  cover 
more  than  a  part  of  the  Old  North  Yard.  His  approach 
was  both  admirable  and  enviable,  making  a  scale  fac-simile 
copy  of  each  stone.  We  would  have  liked  to  continue  his 
admirable  example  but  the  difficulty  and  expense  of  print- 
ing made  it  impossible.  His  papers  were  turned  over  to 
the  custody  of  the  Town  Clerk.  Through  the  courtesy  of 
Mr.  Edward  Cogswell,  the  present  incumbent,  we  were 
given  access  to  them. 

The  last  worker  in  the  field  was  the  late  Rev.  T.  Frank- 
lin Waters,  who,  with  the  assistance  of  Mr.  Henry  Spauld- 
ing,  started  the  work  anew.  He  contemplated  publishing 
his  results  in  the  series  of  the  Ipswich  Historical  Society. 
With  his  scholarly  mind  he  approached  the  diffi- 
culties of  the  problem  in  a  thorough  manner.  It  was  his 
intention  to  divide  the  Old  North  Yard  into  areas  delimited 
permanently  by  granite  markers,  for  the  purpose  of  chart- 
ing the  stones.  A  few  of  these  were  placed.  The  prelim- 
inary work  was  completed  and  many  inscriptions  were 
copied,  but  unfortunately  his  untimely  death  brought  his 
wide-spread  antiquarian  research  to  an  end.    Through  the 


OLD   NORTH  CHURCHYARD  3 

kindness  of  Mrs.  Waters  we  obtained  the  use  of  his  papers. 

After  we  surveyed  the  material  in  hand,  it  was  our 
intention  to  make  a  compilation  of  all  the  work  previously 
done,  thus  bringing  to  completion  the  attempts  of  our 
predecessors.  We  did  this,  copying  the  material  on  indi- 
vidual cards  for  purposes  of  alphabetical  arrangement. 
This  done,  we  went  to  the  Old  North  Yard  only  to  discover 
that  the  work  previously  done  covered  for  the  most  part 
identical  sections  with  important  areas  untouched.  When 
we  considered  the  charts  prepared  by  Mr.  Nourse  and  Mr. 
Waters  we  found  in  the  iirst  instance  that  the  individual 
inscriptions  were  not  keyed  to  his  chart,  in  the  latter  that 
it  had  been  started  on  the  basis  of  granite  markers  which 
had  not  been  placed.  Faced  with  these  obvious  difficulties 
it  seemed  wise  to  start  the  work  afresh.  This  also  necessi- 
tated the  making  of  a  new  chart.  When  all  the  stones  had 
been  card-indexed  we  checked  them  against  the  work  of 
our  predecessors,  thus  discovering  those  stones  which  had 
disappeared  since  their  various  work. 

It  became  obvious  to  us  very  soon  that  the  number  of 
burials  on  the  basis  of  calculated  population  was  far  in 
excess  of  the  number  of  graves  which  had  been  marked 
with  stones.  Any  scholarly  approach  to  such  a  problem  is 
difficult.  One  might  postulate  the  burial  of  any  number  of 
persons  by  probability  but  such  a  procedure  would  at  best 
be  filled  with  inaccuracies.  The  obvious  solution  was  to 
discover  some  source  of  information  as  to  burials  which 
had  not  been  marked  with  stones.  Town  records  did  not 
supply  this  information,  neither  did  parish  records.  We 
examined  both.  The  only  other  possibility  was  records  of 
undertakers.  We  discovered  that  the  office  and  profession 
of  undertaker  was  comparatively  recent.  In  the  eighteenth 
and  seventeenth  centuries  certain  of  the  parish  officers 
performed  this  function  and  no  records  could  be  discovered 
except  in  the  case  of  the  Linebrook  cemeteries. 

Coming  to  the  period  of  the  professional  undertaker 
we  were  very  fortunate  to  discover  that  Mr.   Ralph  K. 


4  OLD   NORTH  CHURCHYARD 

Whittier  had  the  private  records  of  the  late  Mr.  Philip 
Clark  and  his  father.  He  very  kindly  turned  over  this  col- 
lection for  our  use  and  study.  In  them  we  found  evidence 
of  many  burials  in  the  various  cemeteries  and  in  a  few 
cases  approximate  location  of  the  same.  These  will  be 
found  in  the  text  marked  with  an  asterisk. 

Some  may  ask  the  value  of  such  a  work  as  this.  The 
answer  to  this  question  lies  primarily  in  the  growing  inter- 
est in  genealogical  studies.  In  such  work  one  of  the  most 
important  primary  sources  of  data  is  cemetery  inscriptions. 
Beyond  this  is  the  sentimental  value  attached  to  the  knowl- 
edge that  when  time  and  the  weather  have  destroyed  many 
of  the  stones,  there  will  still  exist  a  record  of  those  places 
where  the  dust  of  the  generations  has  found  abiding  rest 
and  of  the  names  of  those  who  have  contributed  to  the 
heritage  which  is  ours.  And  last  there  is  the  conviction, 
because  every  worker  in  the  field  of  Ipswich  history  has 
felt  this  a  task  worthy  the  effort,  that  were  they  here,  they 
would  be  pleased  in  the  knowledge  that  another  generation 
of  workers  in  their  chosen  field  had  brought  the  work  to 
conclusion  and  thus  realized  for  them  those  dreams  which 
the  accidents  of  time  made  impossible  of  fruition. 

One  practical  value  has  already  accrued  from  this 
work.  During  the  summer  of  1934,  as  a  project  to  supply 
work  for  the  horde  of  local  unemployed,  an  ambitious 
project  was  started  to  "restore"  the  Old  North  Burial 
Yard.  The  work  was  begun  and  some  three  hundred  an- 
cient stones  were  uprooted  from  the  dust  which  they 
marked  and  hallowed,  sorted  according  to  size,  and  replaced 
in  straight  rows,  orderly  to  be  sure,  neat  without  a  doubt, 
but  quite  at  odds  with  all  historical  and  sentimental  prece- 
dent. 

When  we  learned  of  this  project,  eminently  worthy  in 
its  intent  though  disastrous  in  its  results,  we,  with  the 
oflficers  of  the  Ipswich  Historical  Society,  the  Society  for 
the  Preservation  of  New  England  Antiquities,  the  Society 
for  the  Preservation  of  the  Beauties  of  Essex  County,  the 


OLD   NORTH  CHURCHYARD  5 

local  chapter  of  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution, 
and  many  historically  minded  citizens,  protested  against 
this  unusual  procedure.  The  result  was  that  the  stones 
were  replaced  on  the  graves  where  they  had  been  first 
erected.  In  this  work  the  local  administrators  of  the  proj- 
ect gave  the  most  whole  hearted  co-operation,  received  sug- 
gestions in  the  most  kindly  spirit,  and  on  the  whole,  despite 
the  unfortunate  beginnings,  the  work  was  reorganized,  • 
the  stones  handled  under  our  supervision,  weak  ones  re- 
paired, cement  foundations  placed  under  those  where  it 
was  deemed  necessary  and  prudent,  several  ancient  tombs 
in  danger  of  collapse  rebuilt  and  permanently  sealed,  a 
task  which,  in  the  ordinary  course  of  town  expenditures, 
could  never  have  been  provided  for  by  funds  received  from 
ordinary  taxation. 

Had  it  not  been  that  we  had  completed  our  preliminary 
work,  viz,  charting  and  copying  every  stone,  the  project 
would  have  resulted  in  disaster  for  it  would  have  been  im- 
possible to  replace  the  stones  on  the  graves  to  which,  in  the 
course  of  nature,  they  belonged. 

In  the  practical  use  of  this  study  may  be  pointed  out 
certain  principles  we  have  used  in  its  construction.  First, 
in  copying  the  inscriptions  from  the  stones  it  was  our 
original  intention  to  publish  fac-simile  reproductions.  This 
was  impossible  and  consequently  we  have  followed  this 
procedure.  Every  name,  date,  and  memorial  verse  or  in- 
scription has  been  transcribed  with  the  original  spelling, 
punctuation,  and  variants  of  stone  cutting  with  these  three 
exceptions — the  ancient  form  of  s  (f )  has  been  eliminated, 
also  the  ancient  use  of  Y  as  an  equivalent  of  th,  and  the 
various  forms  of  the  and  sign.  It  will  be  noted  that  we  have 
not  followed,  in  many  instances,  the  line  arrangement  as 
found  on  the  stones.  We  have  done  this  to  facilitate  the 
printing  and  the  reading. 

In  some  instances  in  cross-indexing,  where  we  could 
not  be  sure  whether  names  were  maiden  or  middle,  we  have 
assumed,  where  reason  and  dates  indicated,  that  they  were 


6  OLD   NORTH   CHURCHYARD 

the  former.  In  doing  this  our  intention  was  to  be  inclusive 
at  the  risk  of  an  occasional  error. 

In  preparing  the  charts  we  had  hoped  to  have  them 
drawn  to  scale  but  practical  considerations  made  it  impos- 
sible. We  had  to  choose  between  this,  which  would  have 
resulted  in  a  series  of  large  awkward  maps,  or  free-hand 
diagrams  far  more  convenient  for  use.  We  chose  the  latter 
method.  It  will  be  noted  that  first  there  is  a  key  map, 
giving  sections  into  which  the  cemetery  is  divided,  and  that 
this  is  followed  by  a  series  of  sectional  diagrams  in  which 
each  stone  can  be  located. 

Some  may  question  the  inclusion  of  the  terraces  as 
part  of  the  ancient  yard.  In  that  they  were  part  of  the  area 
transferred  to  the  town  by  the  Parish  in  1859,  and  in  that 
the  Highland  Cemetery  does  not  begin  until  the  brow  of 
the  hill  is  reached,  the  terraces  constitute  an  integral  part 
of  the  Old  North  Burial  Yard.  Therefore  they  have  been 
included  in  this  part  of  the  work. 

In  passing  we  point  out  that  at  one  time  these  terraces 
had  names,  for  each  of  the  various  presidents  of  the  United 
States  (always  omitting  the  Democratic  presidents — pre- 
sumably no  affront  to  the  dead  was  desired,  by  making 
them  restless  in  a  nomenclature  of  which  they  did  not 
approve  in  life).  Because  this  system  has  passed  out  of 
use,  we  thought  it  wise  to  ignore  the  once  prevalent  custom 
and  list  them  within  the  neutrality  of  numbers. 

One  other  thing  should  be  mentioned.  In  each  case 
where  a  grave  has  been  marked  as  containing  a  Revolu- 
tionary or  Civil  War  soldier,  we  have  indicated  it  so  that 
if  the  stones  should  disappear  or  disintegrate,  the  resting 
places  may  still  be  kept  in  knowledge  and  our  patriotic 
societies  may  continue  their  splendid  work  of  honouring 
them. 

It  has  been  our  intention  to  present  this  study  as  free 
from  errors  as  possible,  but  we  feel  perfection  not  possible. 
If  any  be  noticed,  which  we  hope  will  not  be  the  case,  we 


OLD   NORTH  CHURCHYARD  7 

shall  be  happy  to  acknowledge  them,  and  avoid  their  recur- 
rence in  the  continuation  of  this  work. 

It  would  seem  appropriate  in  such  a  work  as  this  to 
include  a  history  of  the  cemetery  itself  from  the  time  it 
formed  the  limit  of  the  town  in  1634  to  the  present  day. 
We  must  sincerely  apologize  for  the  omission  of  such  a 
history.  We  attempted,  by  research  in  the  Registry  of 
Deeds  of  Essex  County,  to  extend  the  deed  history  of  the 
area  given  by  Mr.  Waters  in  his  history  of  Ipswich  but 
gave  up  in  despair  after  having  reached  the  conclusion 
that  every  pertinent  known  fact  had  been  included  by  Mr. 
Waters  and  to  extend  it  would  necessitate  the  employment 
of  a  trained  surveyor  to  attack  the  problem  through  all  the 
deeds  of  those  whose  land  has  ever  abutted  the  cemetery 
in  its  various  stages  of  growth. 

Men  of  a  century  and  more  ago  apparently  did  not 
realize  that  their  descendants  would  be  at  all  interested  in 
the  half  acre  or  the  "quarter  and  halfe  quarter  of  acre  of 
land"  they  transferred  so  blithely  with  no  mention  as  to 
where  these  fractions  of  land  might  be  located. 

May  we  point  out  to  those  interested  that  our  fellow- 
townsman,  Mr.  Edward  Darling,  has  been  working  on  the 
problem  for  several  years,  and  while  he  kindly  offered  to 
us  the  use  of  his  results  to  the  present,  we  felt  in  justice  to 
him  that  his  work  should  be  carried  to  completion  by  him. 
Until  then  we  suggest  that  anyone  interested  in  the  history 
of  the  land  of  the  cemetery  itself  consult  Mr.  Waters' 
Ipswich  in  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony.

72  OLD   NORTH   CHURCHYARD 

D — 204 — Erected  to  the  memory  of  Col".  Isaac  Dodge,  who 
was  born  March  9th,  1733,  died  June  27th, 
1785,  in  the  53d  year  of  his  age. 

And  of  Mrs.  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  who  was  born 
March  10th,  1730;  and  died  Sep*.  22d,  1785,  in 
the  56"'  year  of  her  age. 

His  mind  was  open,  ardent,  and  enterprising:  He 
was  a  kind  husband,  a  tender  indulgent  fathe'. 
In  his  house  he  was  liberal  and  hospitable: 
Faithful  to  his  trust,  upright  in  his  intentions, 
in  his  operations  active,  persevering  and  ex- 
tensive :  By  which  he  afforded  Employment  and 
subsistence  to  the  industrious  and  the  indigent; 
contributed  to  the  benefit  of  the  publick,  and 
merited  the  Character  of  a  useful  and  valuable 
member  of  society. 

His  wife  was  moral,  thoughtful,  and  sofar  as  her  m 

slender  health  would   permit,  attentive  to  the  S. 

benefit  and  happiness  of  her  Family.  Deeply 
affected  by  the  death  of  her  husband,  and  the 
increasing  infirmities  of  her  feeble  constitution, 
she  languish'd  and,  three  months  after  him, 
expir'd. 

Short  was  their  sepration;   soon  rejoin'd 
In  the  dark  grave,  to  native  dust  consigned, 
They  sleep,  till  death  his  human  prey  restore, 
And  earth  and  skies  and  time  shalt  be  no  more.

Dear  Man  of  God!  with  what  strong  agonies  he 
wresteled  for  his  flock — and  for  the  world!  and  like 
Apollos  mighty  in  the  Scriptures,  op'^n'd  the  mysteries 
of  love  divine  and  the  great  name  of  Jesus! 

Warm  from  his  lips  the  heav'nly  doctrine  fell; 
And  numbers  rescu'd  from  the  jaws  of  hell, 
Shall  hail  him  blest  in  realm  of  light  unknown. 
And  add  immortal  luster  to  his  cro-wn.

Rest,  lovely  Saint  from  ills  to  come; 
In  gentle  slumbers  and  an  early  tomb 
The  fairest  graces  that  enrich  the  mind, 
Rose  with  thy  youth  and  were  in  thee  consign'd 
Disease  alas!  that  brought  thee  to  the  dust, 
Spoil'd  the  fair  structure,  and  dislodg'd  its  guest, 
But  thy  sweet  spirit  rests  in  realms  above, 
Forever  safe  through  a  Redeemers  love.

262  THE    IPSWICH    HISTORICAL    SOCIETY 


The  Ipswich  Historical  Society  was  organized  in  1890,  and 
incorporated  in  1898.  It  has  purchased  and  restored  to  its  original 
architecture  the  ancient  house  it  now  occupies,  one  of  the  finest  speci- 
mens of  the  early  Colonial  style.  It  has  issued  a  series  of  Publications 
which  have  now  reached  to  No.  XXIX,  which  are  of  general  interest. 

We  wish  to  commend  our  work  and  our  needs  to  our  own 
citizens,  to  those  who  make  their  summer  home  with  us,  to  all  scat- 
tered throughout  our  land,  who  have  an  ancestral  connection  with 
the  old  Town,  and  to  any  who  incline  to  help  us.  We  can  use  large 
funds  wisely  in  sustaining  the  Society,  and  erecting  and  endowing 
our  new  building,  and  in  establishing  a  permanent  endowment. 

Our  membership  is  of  two  kinds:  an  Annual  Membership,  with 
yearly  dues  of  $2.00,  which  entitles  to  a  copy  of  the  Publications 
as  they  are  issued  and  free  entrance  to  our  House  with  friends;  and 
a  Life  Membership,  with  a  single  payment  of  $50.00,  which  entitles 
to  all  the  privileges  of  membership. 

Names  may  be  sent  at  any  time  to  the  President.  Orders  for 
the  Publications,  sent  to  the  Secretary,  will  be  filled  at  once.
